AI Workstation & GPU Server Build FAQs
Why not just buy a gaming PC?
For one person and smaller models, a strong desktop can work. Teams need enough GPU memory, cooling for all-day load, reliable power and the right serving software, which is what we size and build for.
Mac or PC?
Large-memory Macs run big models quietly and simply; NVIDIA GPU machines are faster for many users at once and for fine-tuning. We recommend whichever fits your work and budget.
Is a private model as good as ChatGPT or Claude?
For drafting, summarizing, searching your documents and most everyday work, today’s open models are very capable. For the hardest reasoning the largest cloud models still lead, which is why many companies run a hybrid: sensitive work stays local and approved tasks can use a cloud model.
What hardware does it take?
Anything from a recent computer with plenty of memory for one person, to a GPU workstation for a team, to a dedicated multi-GPU server for a whole company. We size it to your users, models and documents and quote it upfront.
